Four ses to me

As for that ‘ about me

I couldn’t hideat the souls of the assassins

They were currentlyunder intense ‘torture’ as the ancient Necrorimoire had said, it looked more like they had finally beco a conversation with the purified souls right now

‘The thing I couldn’t do back in Ronia fiefdoot to do it here’

I recalled the Witch Morgana incident froate her after she turned into an undead, but my skill level aaay too low and I was unable to converse with the dead at the tiotta say, this was one heck of a useful technique At least with this, interrogating humans should become so h…

“What an impudent bastard”

My expression crumpled even before I knew it

It wasn’t just sootten directly involved in the mediation for the ceasefire

But then, the Second Prince of Lonored the clear-cut order and tried to have Barus assassinated Even if he got blinded by the throne’s allure, his actions could be construed as directly spitting in the divine empire’s face

Did that idiot think that he could easily weasel his way out of this as long as he left behind no physical evidence?

This was clearly hi the bird at the Imperial Family

“I didn’t know that we could converse with purified souls,” said Barus while dazedly staring at the seular’ people could see theinally, you’d call these souls ‘evil spectres’, but uh… what should they be called in cases like this one?

Technically speaking, were they now ‘holy ghosts’?

I reached out and grasped at the holy ghost Right at that e sensation

[assassination skill at a low proficiency level has been tees announcing the addition of new skills ringing in ether

Hang on a second here… this ht coaze over to Barus “You still haven’t signed the ceasefire agree so I can decide on my own The matter needs to be discussed with the nobles under me, and I predict that we oing”

Barus tilted his head in confusion “Go…? Where exactly?”

“What do you mean ‘where?’ To your little brother, obviously Ifor by sitting here and investigating stuff in this ht as well kill two birds with one stone by et Second Prince Derian to cooperate with me at the same time”

Barus’s eyes opened wider

He looked pretty shocked right now Well, I basically told him to head to the

However, this arrange able to keep my eyes on both brothers at the same time would certainly make it easier

Besides, I shouldso far

“Remember this To me, neither you nor Derian is my ally You two are just a way to find out where Rose is hiding,” I told that to Barus’s face before addressing Charlotte, “Prepare to depart right away It’s time to put the fear of God in Derian since he dared to look down on the Theocratic E later”

Charlotte nodded in silence

Soon, our carriage was prepared and the trio of Charlotte, Barus, and I, headed to where Second Prince Derian was – the capital of Lodom, Lomania

Derian felt deeply anxious

He was restlessly pacing inside his office He even chewed on his nails until some blood seeped out

‘Why hasn’t there been any news yet?!’

Three weeks had gone by since he had dispatched the quartet of assassins They had been trained since young to become exceptional killers

They were the type to never spill the beans and instead choose to die to protect their secrets So, even if they failed to assassinate an inment, there shouldn’t be any blowback to Derian

Despite knowing that, he just couldn’t cal in his head

If they had succeeded, then the rebels would’ve fallen into confusion by now But if they had failed, then the talks regarding the ceasefire negotiation should have at least resuht now

The knocking noise becaher

He flinched a little and looked at the door oncethe door from the outside Derian felt his heart nearly tumble down to the pit of his sto place outside the office However, it see the door again and again

Eventually, the office door broke into bits
